RUNDU, SEPT. 7 – The Food Namibia Trade Expo underway at Rundu intends to bring stakeholders in Government and the agro-food industry, including farmers together to discuss key issues related to agriculture and sustainable food production in Namibia.
The event started on Wednesday with a conference and is organised by Food Namibia which forms part of Operation Werengendje, an initiative by the Office of the Kavango East Governor, Samuel Mbambo.
The aim of Werengendje is to assist farmers in the region to grow their own food and ensure self-sufficiency and food security.
The expo is held under the theme ‘Food Security for a Healthy Nation’, giving an opportunity to farmers and players in the agro-food industry to exhibit their produce and products.
Mbambo during the official opening on Thursday said under Founding President Sam Nujoma, the focus in the country was on peace and reconciliation and under former President Hifikepunye Pohamba, it was stability, while the phase under President Hage Geingob is prosperity.
“The expo is aimed at contributing to the third phase which is the creation of wealth, poverty eradication and declaring war against hunger outlined in the third pillar of the Harambee Prosperity Plan called Social Progression,” he said.
Mbambo said when someone hears the word hunger, what comes up in their mind is food, and looking at the comparative and competitive advantages of Kavango East, the region decided to focus on the pillar of food production.
He said the Kavango East Region is blessed with abundant water, fertile soil and a conducive geological climate and it is against this background that Operation Werengendje was born.
The governor said the initiative design carries the various stages such as ploughing, weeding, harvesting and food exhibition – the last stage aimed at celebrating the harvest under the operation.
The expo ends on Saturday. – NAMPA
